| The following is a collection of miscellaneous birth records from across the Province of Ontario, usually collected from newspapers or church records. In 1869 the Government of Ontario initiated a registration system, but it took many years for people to begin to respond to it. Some of these records are for very early dates prior to 1869. A small publication providing the index to many birth records since 1869, held at the Archives of Ontario, is available from the catalogue on this web site. |
